I was in the gym practicing my serves, thinking about Karasuno's 'Guardian Deity'. L/n got really excited when Daichi mentioned them.

Hinata then appeared to try and receive my serves.

Key word: tried.

"Can you stay out of my way for five minutes! I yelled. "I could have had that, had it not been for you!"

So, I tried again.

Then, someone else appeared to receive the ball. Except they actually did it. A perfect receive. I looked at the guy. "Is he our guardian?"

"Are you shorter than me?!" Hinata said.

"Oi! You ain't better! Watch what you say to me!" The kid yelled. "E-Eh, what's the matter with you..?"

"It's just...I've never had someone to look down on since middle school," Hinata answered.

"Are you kidding me??!!"

Then Tanaka, Suga and Daichi walked into the gym.

"Nishinoya!"

Me and Hinata tilted our heads.

"Oh, that's right! You guys haven't met Nishinoya yet," Daichi said. "Nishinoya here is a second year."

"Yeah! Nice to meet ya, first years!" Nishinoya greeted. "Hey, I have a question for the kid that just threw that serve!"

"What school did you come from?"

"Uh, I went to Kitagawa," I replied.

"Seriously?! No wonder you're so talented. Those guys beat us 2 to 1 in middle school!" he said.

"Cool, so, what about you?" I asked.

"I went to Chidoriyama!" Nishinoya answered.

"Woah! Seriously? That school is great too!" I said. "Why did you choose Karasuno?"

"Well," he started getting serious. "It's because...I like the uniforms!"

Nishinoya started going on about uniforms and girls...until Kiyoko appeared by the doors.

"Kiyoko!"

Then I heard Kiyoko shriek, followed by a slap. "Yikes...Never mess with girls, Kageyama." I started going back to practice when...

"I heard Kiyoko scream, is everything alright!?"

I looked back and L/n was standing by the doors, just where Kiyoko was.

I was about to greet him, but..

"M/nn!!"

"Yuu!? Wha-"

M/n was pushed back to the floor from the impact of Nishinoya colliding with him.

"Noya! Be careful!" Suga yelled.

"Man, I haven't seen you in a while!" He yelled with comical tears, while holding on tightly to L/n.

I had this weird feeling seeing those two interact, and I didn't like it.

So I slapped myself.

"Kageyama are you okay?!" Hinata asked.

"I'm fine," I said.

I looked back up and L/n was hugging Nishinoya back while trying to get him off.

"Yuu, I missed you too buddy but please get off," L/n pleaded.

Nishinoya got off and started speaking again.

"So, where's Asahi?"

"Asahi?"

When he was met with silence he started yelling.

"That coward!"

"Hey, Nishinoya! Show some respect to your upperclassman!" Tanaka yelled back.

"Shut up! He is one and you know it!" He said angrily. "If Asahi's not coming back, then neither am I.."

Everyone looked shocked. I looked over at L/n and he just stood there. It looked like he was...

...shaking.

He gave out a broken sigh and left.

I stared at the door a little longer.

Before I picked the ball up again.
